Wsup? I was just wondering if the later 2nd gen RX-7's are posi rear end? Because I know they made some changes from 88-91. I'm also pretty sure their earlier ones were posi, and I'm just wondering if they kept them that way throughout the 2nd gens? ???

I think they were all posi, but not sure, I am moving this to 2nd gen discussion... will get more attention here, sorry I'm not more helpful!

its sort of confusing but

88 GTU = 4.33 LSD 89-90 GTUs = 4.33 LSD 86-88 GXL, SPORT = 4.10 LSD 89-91 GXL, GTU = 4.10 OPEN 86-88 BASE & SE = 4.10 OPEN 87-91 T2 = 4.10 LSD . i think that's all the second gens :sigh:

Wsup, So basically are you saying that a 1990 gxl does not have lsd? And could it have been an option to the person buying it? Kind of like some cars and trucks nowadays you can choose from rear wheel or all wheel drive. Or somethin' like that. :tounge:

Vosko, I think the lsd on the sports is an option. Mine didn't come with one. It was open.

I've got the '88 brochure, and an LSD is an option for every model..I could have special ordered an SE w/ LSD. I didn't know that until you all started talking about this. Oh, Rx-7Babe...your a chick? Thats really cool! Not too many Rxgirls in here...actually..you may be the first.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png welcome.

Babe's talking about positraction, not limited slip, No rx-7s came stock with positraction. I have seen an aftermarket differential( or piece) to make posi, though, like 700! my car is no one wheel wonder anyway- https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
